2 Corinthians 10:5 NKJV casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
James 3:3-6 NKJV
3 Indeed, we put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. 4 Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. 5 Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.
Three-Fold Man
- Spirit
- Soul (mind, will, emotions)
- Body
The tongue can be a tool of my spirit or of my soul and what comes out of the mouth is what is in the heart (spirit) of the man.
Proverbs 4:23 KJV Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Matthew 15:18 MEV But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile the man.
The five physical senses of the body give information to the mind, but the mind is responsible for translating that information appropriately (according to our values).
Romans 7:23 MEV but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
Refreshing and renewing my mind daily with the Word of God helps ensure my values are in line with God.
Romans 12:2 MEV Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
